The Chicago Quality Assurance Association (CQAA), the Chicago Chapter of the QAI Global Institute, is excited that the QUEST Conference is returning to Chicago for 2009. QUEST Chicago 2008 was a great success! The conference exceeded expectations and the personal testimonies that we received from attendees were superb. Having the conference in Chicago is an excellent opportunity for our local chapter members to be part of a premier global conference and meet fellow IT quality professionals and industry experts from across the United States and the world.

The Chicago Quality Assurance Association is ready to be the hosting chapter again and to welcome QUEST back to Chicago! QUEST Chicago 2009 is not just another sequel. We are working together with the professional staff of the QAI Global Institute to add some new exciting features to the 2009 conference. All conference attendees are invited to attend our welcome reception on Tuesday evening. It's a fun social event to get to know other IT professionals, learn about Chicago, and to make some great connections. We are eager to make your QUEST experience and visit to Chicago as memorable as it is valuable.

If you attended last year's QUEST Chicago conference, we hope that you will join us again. If you are new to QUEST, we hope you will seize this opportunity to LEARN, ASSESS, APPLY, and CONNECT with fellow quality advocates and testing professionals both locally and worldwide.
